Judges were impressed by the scarecrows and overall appearance of Haywards Heath.
Haywards Heath, in West Sussex, scored a gold medal in the Royal Horticultural Society's Britain in Bloom finals.
Judges, who visited in July 2024, were impressed with the presentation of the scarecrows and the overall appearance of Muster Green in the town. Councillor Sandy Ellis, chair of the Haywards Heath In Bloom Committee said: "We are so proud of this wonderful achievement for our first entry into Britain In Bloom."Haywards Heath Town Council said the displays were a community led effort, with input from a local school, AGE UK and a care home, among others.
Ms Ellis added: "The beautiful artwork produced by care homes and local groups played a huge part of our entry into South and South East In Bloom and Britain in Bloom. "Haywards Heath is not just pretty to the eyes, it has prompted sustainability, adopted traditional practices to improve biodiversity and is full of a wonderful and caring community."Peatland restoration helps rare speciesKew tour gives window into Palm House plants' past
